Speaking

Rebel. Runaway. Reject.

Luann speaks with the gentle authority of someone who has a history of life gone wrong and decisions gone bad — until Jesus showed up. Her struggles with infertility, chronic illness, and loss speak straight to the hurting soul, calling the forgotten and worn out toward transparency, community, and hope in Jesus.
